Chen Xiong's heart trembled, his face turned a little white, and his mouth was trembling a little scared.

"I dare not, I dare not!" Chen Xiong immediately felt extremely respectful.

Just kidding, if Chen Xiong doesn't lower his posture, Ye Feng directly ordered the shooting to kill Chen Xiong. That's also possible. Even if Chen Xiong was killed, it would be in vain. Chen Xiong was the one who was the one who was following the crime.

"roll!"

Ye Feng glanced at Chen Xiong in disgust and shouted softly.

Ye Feng did not shoot Chen Xiong. Seeing this, Chen Xiong was like being pardoned. He took his own men and got out of County Mayor Wang's mansion in an extremely embarrassed manner.

"Ha ha……"

County Magistrate Wang, Wang Xueying and others laughed at Chen Xiong's disgraceful look. Everyone felt so relieved. Unexpectedly, Chen Xiong, who was used to being domineering in Shannan County, was also today.

As soon as Chen Xiong left, everyone was in a good mood. Ye Feng and County Magistrate Wang explained their purpose. Seeing that Ye Feng was going to recruit a large number of soldiers, County Magistrate Wang naturally agreed and cooperated with the Independent Brigade with all his strength.

The Independent Brigade will build infrastructure such as barracks, warehouses, training grounds, etc. County Mayor Wang also promised to fully support and mobilize the villagers of the county to mobilize and participate in a major construction.

Ye Feng's trip to Shannan County can be said to be very successful. With strong support from County Mayor Wang, he ended his trip to Shannan County. Ye Feng went to the nearby Milin County, Pingchuan County and other two counties.

Shannan County is very lively. Two days ago, at least a dozen places in the entire county town posted large recruitment announcements. After reading the announcement, the news that the Independent Brigade was about to recruit soldiers spread throughout Shannan County.

The treatment offered in the announcement is simply too scary and great. The people who have always been used to suffering cannot believe that this is true.

The Independent Brigade has issued attractive conditions. Anyone who joins the Independent Brigade will pay 10 yuan of settlement fee at one time, and then 5 yuan of military pay will be paid every month.

Many ordinary people who are already poor at home, especially some young and middle-aged people, have long been eager to try it out. Because the conditions for recruiting soldiers are so good, the news soon spread to the county town, and many villages in the countryside know about it.

Lijia Village.

Li Tianbao, who is in his early twenties, is very strong. However, having enough strength at this age does not mean that he can make a living. In addition, Lijia Village is located in mountains and valleys, with poor land, and everyone lives a very hard life, and the same is true for Li Tianbao's family.

Li Tianbao is busy with work every day and goes up the mountain to make some wild game from time to time, but his life is also very difficult.

"Why……"

Li Tianbao sat at the door of his house and sighed. Looking at his fifteen or sixteen years old, his younger brother, and his innocent sister, Li Tianbao sighed.

As his father passed away two years ago and his mother's health became worse and worse, Li Tianbao felt that the burden on his body was getting heavier and heavier.

"Brother Tianbao, Brother Tianbao, good news, good news..."

Li Shitou trotted all the way, shouting happily, as if there was a huge amount of fun.

“What good news?”

"Brother Tianbao, I went to the county town. Do you know? Two days later, the Independent Brigade of the Third War Zone was preparing to recruit a large number of soldiers. Anyone who participated in the Independent Brigade could not only receive 10 yuan of settlement fees immediately, but also 5 yuan of military pay per month in the future."

"real!"

Li Tianbao grabbed Li Shitou with excitement on his face. If this is the case, it would be a pie falling from the sky, 10 yuan of oceans, Li Tianbao had never seen 10 yuan of oceans in his life.

"It's true!"

"That's great. I'm going to join the army and join the independent brigade. By the way, Shi Tou, are you going to join the army too?"

"I'll go to participate too. I've told my dad that my dad agrees." Li Shitou nodded immediately and was also ready to join the army.

"Stone, then we will all participate, and there will be a response in the future."

"good!"

The two of them stretched out their big hands and held them tightly, both of them looking excited.

News of the Independent Brigade recruiting soldiers spread in several nearby counties within two or three days. Many people had already decided in their hearts that they must join the Independent Brigade.

There are many villages like Lijia Village nearby, and more people receive news. Like Li Tianbao, people who live in distress are like raining for a long time, seeing the hope and dawn of life.

While everyone was busy preparing for recruitment, Ye Feng finally finalized the list of officers of the Independent Brigade and submitted it to the Third War Zone for filing. At the same time, thousands of brand-new military uniforms from the Independent Brigade were also transported.

The major general brigade commander of the Independent Brigade is naturally Ye Feng, the colonel chief of staff Guo Weiquan, the colonel deputy brigade commander Liu Yongyan, the colonel deputy brigade commander Chu Tianyuan, and the colonel special forces captain and deputy brigade commander Zhao Long.

Among the officers of the brigade department, Guo Weiquan and Chu Tianyuan are intermediate military talents from the "Nuwa" system and are good at military command. As for Zhao Long, after upgrading, he is also intermediate military talents and is good at special operations.

Among the officers at the regiment level, Ye Feng is a large number of military talents who use the "Nuwa" system. The regiment level officers are generally intermediate military talents. However, in order to facilitate the promotion of meritorious personnel in the future, each regiment has only established one regiment commander, one regiment chief of staff, and the deputy regiment commander is temporarily vacant.

Military talents synthesized through the "Nuwa" system are loyal and reliable, with excellent level. At the beginning of the establishment of the independent brigade, there was a shortage of military command personnel. Ye Feng consumed tens of thousands of merit points and synthesized several intermediate military talents and several junior military talents, and entrusted them with important tasks.

Ye Feng no longer used military talents from the "Nuwa" system to select 500 national military personnel and his former brothers from Shizhu Village. Ten squad leaders from Shizhu Village performed well and served as battalion-level officers. For example, Liu Funan, the former second squad leader, served as battalion-level officers, and the rest of the squad leader, either served as battalion commander or company commander.

*******

On October 8, 1937, the day of public recruitment came as scheduled.

Shannan County.

The entire county town is very lively, and there are obviously many people of all kinds in the county town than usual. These people basically came from all over the place after hearing the news of recruiting soldiers.

In the county town, there were already long queues at several recruiting sites early in the morning. Many young people lined up while stretching their necks to look around, waiting anxiously.

The recruitment officially begins at 9 a.m.

At 8:30 in the morning, there were obviously more police officers in the entire county town, and all the county police stations dispatched to maintain order. Even dozens of people from the county security team also acted as the role of maintaining order. Some street intersections even stood guard at designated locations.

Recruitment point in the east of the city.

"Here, come, everyone, stand up!"

Suddenly, there were a burst of commotion in the long queue. Twenty soldiers in neat and brand new national uniforms walked towards the recruiting site with neat steps under the leadership of a captain.
